Acquiring property with long-term intent also requires confidence in knowing the project is backed by secure developers. Tongaat Hulett Developments (Pty) Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of the South African company The Tongaat-Hulett Group which is listed on the JSE Securities exchange (Johannesburg Stock Exchange) and the London Stock Exchange.
Tongaat Hulett is one of the leading land developers in South Africa. Its projects span the entire property spectrum and are located primarily along the eastern seaboard of the Province of KwaZulu-Natal in the North Durban region. Amongst the company’s better-known residential projects are Mount Edgecombe Country Club Estate, Umhlanga Ridge, La Lucia Ridge, Somerset Park, The Gardens, Broadlands and Ilala Ridge. Major commercial projects include the Umhlanga Ridge New Town Centre and La Lucia Ridge Office Estate.
Since 1992 the company has developed more than 1000ha (10,000,000m2) of land resulting in investment in infrastructure, the environment, buildings, equipment and finishes in the order of R10bn (US$1,5bn).
Zimbali, which was launched by Tongaat Hulett in 1995, fits in well with the company’s vision of continually creating the most sought after quality of life environments in Southern Africa through developments of international standing. Tongaat Hulett’s mission is to drive development, economic growth and property values in the North Durban region, in line with market needs and on a co-ordinated planning basis.
The company’s philosophy on the environment, which is strongly borne out at Zimbali, is to create quality-of-life developments by seeking to find an optimal balance between development and conservation by reclaiming agricultural land, planting it with indigenous flora, restoring wetlands and watercourses and inviting natural life back into responsibly developed urban habitats.
The powerful partnership between Tongaat Hulett and IFA Hotels and Resorts will stand Zimbali in good stead to build its reputation into Southern Africa’s leading international resort destination.
